And, hopefully, you'll have plenty of time to relax, enjoy the holidays and do a ... VIEW POST

Handwriting Help in Kindergarten
Handwriting instruction can be tricky and frustrating for students and for teachers. With more and more students coming to early childhood classrooms with fewer and fewer fine motor skills, this is now more true than ever before. We can use as much handwriting help in kindergarten as we can get. I promise you, my classroom is no exception. You will see funky pencil grips in my classroom pictures. Sometimes you'll see no grip at all. Students just don't have the strength or stamina for fine ... VIEW POST
Today in kindergarten, even the brightest students struggle with the mechanics of handwriting. Lack of strength, the push to do more and faster, and the absence of developmentally appropriate tools and activities means students avoid tasks that involve writing because . . . well . . . it's just too hard. Let me show some tips and tricks on how I support handwriting in my own classroom.

Getting Started With Fine Motor Morning Work Stations
I've told you before how much I dislike paper/pencil morning work. Blah! I mean, like anything, if it works for you, GREAT! But it has never really been an effective or engaging activity for my students. I needed something that would provide hands-on practice but give them a chance to work cooperatively. Morning Work Stations are THE BEST thing to happen to my mornings. Seriously. Students used to come in, dragging their feet and wasting time. Today, they are ... VIEW POST
